What do you pay for in a medical weight-loss programme?

You are paying for a clinical programme led by a doctor, not a one-off product. Your programme can include:

  • GP assessment

    A full review of your health, history and goals with a GMC-registered doctor.

  • Baseline blood tests

    Arranged where clinically appropriate, to check your health before you start.

  • Personalised plan

    A weight-management plan built around your health and goals.

  • Structured reviews

    Regular check-ins to see how you are getting on and adjust your plan.

  • Ongoing monitoring

    Your health is monitored throughout to keep you safe.

  • GP-led lifestyle and nutrition guidance

    Practical support on diet, activity and habits alongside your plan.

What does Premier Private GP charge?

£175
  • Full assessment with a GMC-registered GP
  • Suitability review
  • Personalised weight-management plan
  • No GP referral needed

After your consultation, your GP explains your personalised plan, including any treatment, monitoring and reviews, and prices it with you before you decide. Every plan is different, and there are no hidden fees. This is a private, self-funded service.

What affects the monthly cost?

No two plans are the same, so the ongoing cost depends on what is clinically right for you. The main factors are:

  • The treatment your GP recommends, if any, and how it is adjusted over time
  • How often you need reviews
  • The level of monitoring you need, including any blood tests

These are clinical decisions, made with you at your consultation. You will know the price of your plan before you commit to anything.

Why isn't the cheapest option always the safest?

Weight-management treatment needs a proper medical assessment. UK rules require your weight or BMI to be independently verified, and a questionnaire alone is not enough.

With a doctor-led programme you get a real two-way consultation, a plan that takes your whole health into account, and follow-up reviews with a GMC-registered GP in a CQC-registered clinic.

Is medical weight loss available on the NHS?

Yes, for some people. The NHS offers weight-management support, but its criteria for medicines are stricter, treatment is often provided through specialist services, and access varies by area.

Your own GP can tell you what is available locally. If you don't meet NHS criteria, or would rather not wait, a private service is an option.
